Can I reactivate my OEM of windows on a new motherboard so my old a broken?

Hey all,.

I know this has probably been asked before, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Recently, I built my first PC and bought a copy of windows 7 OEM. After the first day that I discovered that my motherboard was faulty and is not working properly. I'll send the motherboard for a replacement, but I understand that an OEM license is only allowed for a motherboard. Really, I don't want to have to pay a new license as I just activated my first on a couple of days, and I have to change because of a broken mobo that wasn't my fault and had to be changed.
Thanks much for any help.
Thomas.

It shouldn't really matter in your case. The bottom line, it's your new motherboard was faulty.

If it Windows is not activated by line, use the phone activation and explain your situation to the person you are talking about. Microsoft is to understand in situations like yours.

How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
 
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
 
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
 
(3) select your "country" in the list.
 
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
 
5) stay on the phone (do not select/press options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
 
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    Hello

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.

    Read this information:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • How can I get my installation of windows in my new pc

    My pc packed earlier, essentially the coprocessors and the motherboard has failed.

    I had Windows Vista and Windows 7 is installed as a dual-boot options. Vista is an upgrade on XP, 7 was also an upgrade, but I have it installed as a new installation.

    I decided to build a new pc, re-using many parts of my old, including hard drives, but obviously using a new card motherboard and CPU.

    I really don't want to pay for Windows, microsoft have had more than enough money out of me over the years.

    I am not too concerned by will work for Vista, but I want to reuse my license of Windows 7. I have the discs for Windows 7, can I have the disks for Vista but XP was installed when I originally bought my old PC and didn't come with any disks.

    Ideally, I would stick my old hard drive in my kit and it work just but I'm not naïve enough to think that will happen. Anyone can give a direction would be appreciated.

    Well, to install the Windows 7 upgrade, you actually have a license of previous qualifications, since it is an upgrade version. Or your original OEM of Windows XP or Vista Upgrade eligible because XP can not be transferred to a new computer and Vista upgrade cannot be used for product calling itself being an upgrade. You really should use a full version.

    You can give the following a try if:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • I'm rebuilding my machine because of an imminent hard disk crash, I will be able to reactivate my copy of windows 7 on new generation?

    Well, I recently built a machine using Windows XP, upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate with a disc of the full version and a key.  The HARD drive is going after only two years.  BIOS AND Windows give me warnings, and I'm a moderator paid for a Web site.  My work depends on the stability of the machine; He needs a reconstruction and a new HARD drive.  I have everything already backed up.

    My question is, since I already activated my copy of windows, is there a way to activate it again on the next generation?  Installation is always on a machine, I just need to be able to reactivate it.  I don't have a lot of time.  A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  • Windows 10 installing new motherboard

    So I've updated to windows 10 easily and smoothly, but after only a day degraded to win7 due to trouble with networkadapters. I really liked windows 10 However and thought that's what I use on my new build, but of course I didn't for an OS completely new with material because that would be too simple to remember :)

    So, I read a few posts like:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-10-upgrade

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    and if I understand it, I could get the activation of win10 even on my new motherboard with the help of the usb disk or a CompactDisc.

    Is it possible to make something like this, or do I have to spend a few more dough for the mobo?

    Edit: I have a valid product key

    I don't know if my question is in the subject of law.

    You must create first recovery after upgraded media to Windows 10 on your existing system.  Right click on the Windows Logo on the taskbar, select Control Panel.  Then go to "all elements of control panel"->"recovery" and click on "create a recovery drive.  Then follow the prompts.  Adjust according to paragraph 4(b) of the LICENCE Windows 10 agreement, you can restore the operating system on the system after replacing the motherboard and processor.

    Note: You must have at least a 4GB flash drive inserted before clicking 'create a recovery drive.  And make sure you don't need anything on the flash button because it will be completely removed.

    PS: I did not myself, but according to the EULA, it is permitted, as long as Windows is removed from the old system, to transfer a purchased retail installation from one computer to another.  Someone let me know if I'm somehow wrong interpretation of this section of the EULA Windows 10 which is presented during the upgrade and also available on the system properties page in the file Explorer.

  • How to install windows to a new motherboard without Windows CD?

    I think that not many people were in my situation here. I will soon get a new motherboard, but the problem is that I don't have my CD. I wrote my key product some time ago so I have that but is there a way for me to get my Win8 back using my product key, but without first using my CD?

    You need the CD, no way around that. But if the cd has been lost, get a

    the mfg replacement, it should be free... If it is a copy of the retail of 8, then

    Microsoft would have done the same thing... If the OS is on a partition of the HD, the HD you

    always have & will use the new MB, then all is lost, unless the same MB correct

    is ordered, then purchase new windows operating system cd.

    You omit a few things. If you still have the recovery partition, you can use the OneKeyRecovery to restore your computer. If you do not, you must contact customer service and get a set of recovery disks (unless you do a game before installing windows 7). If you have made a game, you can use those.

  • Can I transfer my OEM license on another computer and throwing away the old pc?

    I have 2 old PC without any hardware in them with the product key OEM on top. I want to be legal even with not having not the money to keep buying more licenses just to stay legal. I transfer these keys on my computer principal in VMS (Virtual Machines) and used to test and evaluate and be legal or licensing die with these computers? If they do not die with these computers, just buy equipment for computers to bring back to life? I want that some virtual machines to evaluate/test/etc. Also, I believe I read that even installing the same licenses on computer 2 times (partitions) is illegal? How can this be good? If this is true, then, no wonder that Microsoft makes so much money and it goes so hacking on. I n my questions I've seen where to transfer the license to another PC and throw, stills activate, (stupid question) but making them legal with MS? : P

    -Geek Windows - 7 is better that any OS I have and never HAVE!

    A Windows OEM license cannot be transferred to another computer.  A virtual machine is considered to be a computer.  In addition, you can only install and activate one 1 copy of Windows on a single
